We have a lot of different employees at Space Productions.One person that has been working at Space for a long time is James Jackson, head of our rental warehouse.
" I was hired in the summer of 2001, so almost 23 years ago. Then the company was named Space Display and was located next to Pååls bakery in Högsbo (a local bakery in Gothenburg). When I first started here I worked in the graphics departement. Since then, both Space Productions and my role has developed. "
What is your role at Space?
Good question, but also difficult to answer. I work with alot of different things, but my main task is managing the rental warehouse. This means that I take care of bookings and products that are going out to events, purchases, packing and unpacking when everything comes back to the warehouse. My work often takes place in close contact with the project managers where we discuss what they need for their events and possible solutions.
You also mentioned that you have other different tasks at Space, please tell us more about them!
To start, I'm the safety representative of our two goods departments. I'm also in charge of all the forklifts at Space and makes sure that the problems with the lifts are fixed.
When you have worked for a long time and seen a lot of different projects, you always try to find new solutions to make the process more efficient. Since I also manage our tools, I am currently trying to arrange a quick and easy booking system where those who need tools will be able to use their camera to book tools for projects.
Currently I'm also working on developing an app for our internal services where we will be able to share information more easily. This app will help with managing and planning when goods and other deliveries will arrive to the goods departments. It has many functions that matches Space Productions efficient way of working, and after showing the demo to some colleagues I quickly got some suggestions and wishes on other functions.
Is there an item in the rental stock that you particularly like? Or that has a special story?
I think it might be a construction system we used to use with Volvo Trucks. There was a time when we used it alot, but now when we haven't used it in a while, I miss some functions about it. You can build all sorts of things - different modules, two-story constructions, and there is even a possibility to install elevators. The system has great potential, so it lies here waiting for its next big project.
Now we use another system called beMatrix that is very flexible. Before that we used to build and produce our own walls. Fun thing, we named the walls after a former collegue Bosse Gren.
Four exhibition booths from 2023 and 2024, build with beMatrix.
